Fire Ball Extinguisher

A dry powder fire ball is a unique and innovative fire suppression device designed for quick and effective use in containing fires. Unlike traditional fire extinguishers, these balls are designed to be easily deployed by anyone, regardless of training or experience.

Key Features and Benefits

• Ease of Use:
  Dry powder fire balls are incredibly simple to use. In the event of a fire, simply throw the ball into the flames. Upon contact, the ball will burst open, releasing a cloud of dry chemical powder that suppresses the fire.
• Automatic Activation: Some fire balls are designed for automatic activation. They can be placed in high-risk areas, and when exposed to a certain temperature, they will automatically activate and release the extinguishing agent.   
• Portability: These fire balls are lightweight and compact, making them easy to store and transport. They can be placed in strategic locations for quick access in case of a fire.

• Effectiveness: The dry chemical powder used in these fire balls is effective in suppressing various types of fires, including those involving flammable liquids, electrical equipment, and ordinary combustibles. 
• Safety: Dry powder fire balls are designed to be safe for use by anyone, including children and the elderly. They do not require any special training or handling.

How to Use a Dry Powder Fire Ball

1. Identify the Fire: Assess the type and size of the fire to ensure it is suitable for suppression with a dry powder fire ball.
2. Retrieve the Ball: Quickly locate and retrieve the fire ball from its storage location.
3. Throw or Place: If the fire is small and contained, you can throw the ball directly into the flames. For larger fires or if you cannot safely approach the flames, you can place the ball near the fire and retreat to a safe distance.
4. Activation: Upon contact with the flames or when exposed to a certain temperature (for automatic activation models), the ball will burst open, releasing the dry chemical powder. 
5. Suppression: The dry chemical powder will quickly spread and suppress the fire by interrupting the chemical reaction and cooling the flames.

AFO means auto fire off, these automatic fire extinguisher “balls” are a type of fire suppression device that can be thrown into a fire or left in potentially fire hazardous places. When they come into contact with flames, they release a powder that helps to extinguish the fire.

Applications

Dry powder fire balls are versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, including:

• Homes
• Offices
• Vehicles
• Boats
• Factories
• Warehouses
• Restaurants
• Schools

Additional Considerations

• Maintenance: While dry powder fire balls require minimal maintenance, it is essential to check them periodically to ensure they are in good condition and have not been damaged.
• Limitations: Dry powder fire balls are most effective on small to medium-sized fires. They may not be sufficient for larger or more complex fires. In such cases, it is crucial to evacuate the area and call for professional fire services.  
• Complementary Fire Safety Measures: Dry powder fire balls should be considered as part of a comprehensive fire safety plan, which includes smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, escape routes, and regular fire drills.

Dry powder fire balls offer a convenient, effective, and easy-to-use solution for suppressing fires in their early stages. Their portability, ease of use, and effectiveness make them a valuable addition to any fire safety plan. While they may not replace traditional fire extinguishers, they can serve as a first line of defence in containing fires and preventing them from spreading.
